Step aside Luigi, 2025 is now officially the Year of Eevee. That’s the rather bold claim made today on the official Pokémon Center website. What does it mean? Well, the TCG is about to launch a new special set of cards called Prismatic Evolutions, all themed around the lil’ brown pup and its octet of evolved forms, with new products released throughout the whole year, and there’s a bunch of new Eevee merch on the store, but could it also be...? - John Walker Read More

The PlayStation Portal is one hell of a handheld device, capable of streaming games from your PlayStation 5 and directly from Sony’s servers if you’re a PlayStation Plus member). But you probably already know that if you’ve grabbed one for yourself. Instead, you’re probably here to learn the step-by-step process of setting it all up, eh?

Marvel Rivals is entering its second season, confusingly named Season 1 because the first one was Season 0, and it’s bringing four new heroes to the game all at once. The Fantastic Four are joining the roster. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman will join on January 10, seemingly alongside a new map, a balance patch, and a battle pass. The other two will join in the latter half of the season. Developer NetEase is rolling out information on Season 1: Eternal Night Falls throughout the week, so we’ll be updating this post with new details as they come. Here’s everything we know so far about Marvel Rivals’ Fantastic Four-focused season. - Kenneth Shepard Read More

But it turns out that is exactly what it was, and I’m feeling very lucky to have stumbled into a store that gave me the display version of the doll they had on their shelf so I wouldn’t be stuck in the purgatory of resellers posting the Ultimate Lifeform on sites like eBay for hundreds of dollars. - Kenneth Shepard Read More

Marvel Rivals features three types of heroes: Vanguards, Duelists, and Strategists. Arguably, the Vanguard can change the tide of battle the most. Traditionally known as tanks, the role of these heroes is to soak up damage to let the rest of their team invade the objective and make their way in. - Parker Johnson Read More
